After selling my Condor Scout hatchet I was wanting a similar but smaller axe for camp light duties as I'm not overly keen on battening. I won this tiny Gilpins vintage axe for £13 delivered and set about making some mods.
I first ground a new shape and took off the mushroomed metal on the poll. I didnt like the handle so took that off and will rehang with a new one which I am going to try a laminated multi wood version.
This is is as far as I have got as I'm now down with this coughing virus that's going around! The woods are Box, Paduk and Ebony.
Will be interesting how it turns out I think? Will update when I can....
